Should YOUR Business Advertise On Instagram?


Instagram now has 800 million monthly and 500 million daily active users..

Instagram’s still growing at a rapid pace, having added 100 million new monthly active users in just a month since it last reported a new figure.



It now has 800 million users engaging with the service on at least a monthly basis, the company revealed on Monday at an event in NYC, and it has 500 million using the service on a daily basis, too.

Instagram announced the 700 million monthly active user milestone in April, which grew from 600 million in four months, meaning it accrued its latest growth at around the same clip.

Despite the social network’s huge user population, its growth isn’t slowing down, putting it on a path to potentially catch up to parent network Facebook’s user number down the road.

Instagram also told TechCrunch that it now has 2 million advertisers on the platform, which is up from 1 million in March. Most of that growth has come from SMB's, the company says.



The company also said that time spent by users viewing video on Instagram is up over 80 percent year over year. Further, users are producing more video – four times as many per day as they were last year, in fact.

These stats are encouraging for anyone investing in Instagram as a platform, and for Facebook’s larger ambitions.

But they’re likely discouraging to Snapchat, one of Instagram’s main rivals for user attention. Instagram’s skyrocketing growth has come as the company copied and implemented a number of Snapchat product experiences, including Stories.

  5. Even if you're not going far during your trip, having some currency will be handy. Spend some time looking for the best exchange rates before you go and make sure you get enough for the duration of your stay. 출장서비스

  6. With the Facebook site itself generating such a high rate of traffic on a daily basis, your ad has a much better chance of being seen and having a positive effect. It will be seen a multitude of times by a targeted audience who is already comfortable shopping the online arena. home

  8. Last September, Facebook bought out the company. The cash-and-stock deal was worth $1 billion when it had been announced in April, though that fell to about $740 million by enough time it had been completed due to Facebook's falling stock price. upload video to instagram from mac
